My Cell Prison
Chapter 1137 - Chapter 1137 Chapter 1136 Evil Spirits

Chapter 1137: Chapter 1136 Evil Spirits Chapter 1137: Chapter 1136 Evil Spirits Han Dong’s sunken ship passed through the membrane and officially entered the Antarctic Circle.

He immediately felt the Messenger Mark on the back of his hand weaken, his connection to the Deep Sea and the yellow-robed beings becoming extremely tenuous… And yet, this was merely the entrance through the membrane; they had not yet fully set foot on Antarctic land.

“Surely, the closer we get to the bizarre Black Mountain, the weaker the connection to the outside world becomes, possibly even approaching zero… Indeed, that’s very dangerous.

Moreover, the ultimate destination of this Antarctic journey is the ancient ruins of the Elder Race, which are likely situated deep within the Black Mountain. By then, we’ll have completely lost contact with the outside world… We must arrange some backup plans, just in case.”

With this in mind,

Han Dong rushed back to his room as quickly as he could.

Eight pink octopus legs hung carelessly on the bed, the two girls were sleeping, still unaware that the ship had entered the polar circle zone.

“Nicole… I need to ask you to do something.”

After Han Dong briefly explained the matter, Nicole asked with a worried face, “What if it’s too late?”

“Just do as I tell you, and you’ll make it in time no matter what. Go… For the next part of the journey, Togu and I will be enough.”

“Okay, master, be careful.”

In an instant, a pink entity appeared dozens of meters below the sailboat, its tentacles swaying as it swam into the depths of the sea.

Nicole had departed.

Maritzis lazily got up from the bed with a very casual look.

She grabbed a bath towel from the nightstand and slowly dried the dampness on her body.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, facing Han Dong who stood by the window… she lifted her plump long legs high and slowly put on the fleece-lined stockings Han Dong had bought for her in London City.

Maritzis, wearing nothing but stockings and an undershirt, moved closer to the window where Han Dong was standing, looking out in the direction of Antarctica.

“Have we entered the polar circle? No wonder I felt a spatial disturbance just now…

My Spatial Ability is severely limited here, and I can only perform short-distance transfers of no more than ten meters.

Only the Void Techniques you control, Han Dong, can barely remain unaffected.”

Han Dong showed no reaction to Maritzis, who was pressing close to him.

“Mhm, even the [Nameless Fog] that pervades the Earth can be isolated here, it’s almost like the Antarctic Circle is separated from the world by this colorful membrane.

However, since the Old Kings allow its existence, there must be a reason for it.”

Maritzis also asked with a hint of concern:

“Speaking of which, can Nicole really bring enough reinforcements in a crisis?

If our opponent is really one of the remaining Elder Race or a group of noble Shoggoths… even common Deep Sea Demons won’t be able to contend.”

“You’ve slept with Nicole for so many days, you should know her power, right? Even as a ‘Follower’, the blood flowing in her veins is that of the Royal Family… Besides, I have other means at my disposal.

We’re almost ashore; you’d better get changed quickly.”

“Mhm…”

Not long after, Maritzis, posing as Han Dong’s partner, emerged from the room with him.

They did not go straight to the deck, but instead came to the door next door.

Knock, knock, knock~ they rapped on the door of Eugenes.

Throughout the days of sea navigation, Han Dong had not seen Eugenes even once.

The two girls who had spent most of their time in their room also had never heard any noise from the next door, not even the sound of a door opening.

Knock, knock, knock~ knock, knock!

After knocking five times in succession, they finally heard the sound of the door lock.

At the moment the door opened, Han Dong and Maritzis both retched, nearly vomiting their breakfast… They instinctively sealed off their olfactory systems by any means possible.

However, it wasn’t just an issue with the sense of smell.

During the time the door was open, both Han Dong and Maritzis contracted a bit of plague… Green and malodorous flesh and eyeballs of various sizes began to grow slowly on their bodies.

Han Dong, who had once been an Apprentice Knight in the Mysterious Department – Plague Studies, immediately opened his domain to clear away the plague that had affected the two of them, and cautiously pushed the door open further.

The entire crew’s cabin had turned into a Shoggoth’s lair.

Dirty, foul-smelling, nauseating.

The disheveled emerald-green flesh had taken over the room,

strange and twisted tentacles arbitrarily grew on the walls,

the floor’s surface also sprouted numerous oral structures, requiring utmost care with every step tread,

Eugenes sprawled on the bed with a languid posture resembling that of the comic actor Ge You, his back fused with the decaying flesh that enveloped the room.

Moreover, the excretory organs corresponding to Eugene’s lower body connected directly to the sea through the bed-floor-cabin-base of the ship, disposing his waste straight into the ocean.

That’s right.

For a full nine days of the voyage,

Eugenes did not only remain in his room but never left his bed.

Eugenes was currently holding a comic book bought from London City, with a pile of comics and novels placed by the bedside.

Seeing such a scene, Han Dong could only come up with two words of judgement.

[Hermit]

…

“Oh? Have we arrived yet?”

Eugenes flicked his reptilian green hair aside, looking indifferent, as though he didn’t care about the journey nor did he seem to have any intention of dealing with Han Dong.

Although Han Dong was not affected by the contagion, the scene before his eyes made him feel quite uneasy.

“Yes, we’re now crossing the ice break-up zone… Clean up a bit and join us on the deck later.”

Just as Han Dong rushed to close the door to lock in the stench.

Eugenes suddenly added, “Nicholas, since we’ve entered the polar circle, we need to remain vigilant at all times… This is the Demon Forbidden Area, where you might encounter dangers beyond your expectations.”

“Got it,”

Han Dong quickly replied.

As compared to the dangers of the polar circle, the pressing matter was to close the door quickly… If he looked at the scene before him any longer, he probably wouldn’t be able to stomach any food today.

Click~

The moment he closed the door, the escaping stench and plague were also reabsorbed into the room.

Eugenes did a pretty good job in that regard.

As the discomfort disappeared in an instant, Han Dong also thought about Eugenes’s reminder–the Demon Forbidden Area.

He then released his sensing domain.

Surprisingly, as the domain expanded to the end of the current corridor, it unexpectedly captured a scent of strangeness, a scent that did not belong to the exotic demons.

The domain returned to Han Dong the feeling of–[extreme cold], [Void], [Danger].

“Who’s there!”

Han Dong spun around abruptly.

He just glimpsed a severely frostbitten foot, missing a little toe, that had just stepped beyond the end of the corridor, leaving behind a trail of icy footprints on the ground.

“Void Step.”

A twist of the foot, stars twinkled.

When Han Dong teleported to the corner, the figure had already vanished, and the scent captured by the domain also disappeared.

“Was that thing just now not an exotic demon? Then what could it be?”

Maritzis, who followed closely, stretched out her hand to touch the icy footprints on the ground, and instantly a chill surged into her body… forcing Maritzis to expel a great deal of water, only to release the chill as ice thorns from her body.

“This is… could it be that the rumors are true?”

“What rumors?”

“In ancient times, the Antarctic was one of the most important exotic demon bases on this planet… It was also one of the main regions affected by the ‘World Disaster.’

The rumors say that some ‘otherworldly beings’ linger in this place.”

“A completely isolated Antarctic Circle, unaffected by the Eternal Night, a holy land for demon explorers, the last vestiges of the Elder Race, remnants of the original world disaster… It seems the situation is more troublesome than I’d anticipated; Eugenes really has kept a lot from me.”
